The number of books you read is amazing. How much time do you spend reading each day?

When Jyn Erso was five years old, her mother was murdered and her father taken from her to serve the Empire. But despite the loss of her parents she is not completely alone—Saw Gerrera, a man willing to go to any extremes necessary in order to resist Imperial tyranny, takes her in as his own, and gives her not only a home but all the abilities and resources she needs to become a rebel herself.
Jyn dedicates herself to the cause—and the man. But fighting alongside Saw and his people brings with it danger and the question of just how far Jyn is willing to go as one of Saw’s soldiers. When she faces an unthinkable betrayal that shatters her world, Jyn will have to pull the pieces of herself back together and figure out what she truly believes in…and who she can really trust.
I read between two to four hours a day and am a fast reader.
I am a slower reader and I can only get in an hour or so of reading per night. On weekends I can get in more. But it still takes me at least a week to ten days to read a book.
Finished book #31/70 - A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
This is a small YA book, but an emotionally powerful one. A definite must read and be prepared to cry. 4.5 stars
The monster showed up after midnight. As they do.
But it isn’t the monster Conor’s been expecting. He’s been expecting the one from his nightmare, the one he’s had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness and the wind and the screaming…
This monster is something different, though. Something ancient, something wild. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor.
It wants the truth.

Last Light by Terri Blackstock
In the face of a crisis that sweeps an entire high-tech planet back to the age before electricity, Deni Branning's career ambitions have vanished. She's not about to let her dream of marriage go as well.
But keeping it alive will require extraordinary measures. Yesterday's world is gone. All Deni and her family have left is each other and their neighbors. Their little community will either stand or fall together. But they're only beginning to realize it - and trust doesn't come easily.
Particularly when one of them is a killer.
Pretty good. Starting the second in the series next.
I'd like to join in if you don't mind me starting in the middle of the year. I participated last year and then flaked out about this time so maybe you can say I took a break and am picking back up where I left off. But I'll set a new goal for 25 books.
1. The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules by Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg. It is the first of a series about a group of people in a retirement home who are tired of the status quo and want some excitement in their lives. I give it a 3 out of 5, I'm not interested in reading the rest of the series.
I enjoyed that book and read the others. I thought that the story line was very interesting, made me think what I would do if something like that happened.
